The deadline to submit public comments on the White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration, and Refugee Protection has been extended until the end of January.
The announcement by Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi is contained in a gazette published on 8 January 2024.
The white paper was published for public comment in November and proposes a “complete overhaul” of the citizenship, immigration, and Refugees Acts with the introduction of a single piece of legislation to replace all three.
This is in a bid to address “new challenges” facing South Africa in terms of migration.
The original deadline given for public comments was 19 January, but this has now been extended to 31 January.
Home Affairs says the White Paper and the explanatory memorandum can be downloaded at www.dha.gov.za.
